Here are several upcoming opportunities to be involved in the Region’s disaster response ministry.

Work trip to Rolling Fork, MS – May 31-June 6, 2026

We will be working with Rolling Fork Rising to finish some homes in the rebuilding process after the tornado of 2023.  Registration is only $50 (thanks to a grant from the Oreon E. Scott Foundation). Food and lodging are included; transportation is not. Click here to register

Disaster Emotional & Spiritual Care Online Training

Begins the week of March 23rd and offers six weeks of free online training to help pastors and lay leaders be more prepared for responding after disasters in your area. Watch for more information and registration links coming soon!

We always need disaster cleanup buckets. For the past two years, FCC Berryville has made this an Advent project, assembling 10 buckets annually. These are incredibly helpful in times of need. You can see all the details here https://cwskits.org/assemble-kits/emergency-cleanup-buckets/. If you decide to make buckets, please reach out to Ronny Nowell at ronny@grrdisciples.org to find the closest depot to drop off the completed buckets.

State Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD)

Rev. Ronny Nowell meets with these organizations to coordinate efforts around disasters in each of the three states.
